Hey all!
I meant to post sooner but was too tired from the flight. Anyway, we touched down yesterday morning at about 6:30 AM and were greeted by some of Mum's good friends. After going out to breakfast with them, we drove for about two hours until we reached Cathedral Cove (the beach set in Prince Caspian). Believe me, it is as beautiful as it is in the movie. From there we drove for several hours until we made to Rotorua where we spent last night. This morning we went to a place called the Agrodome and watched their famous sheep show consisting of a show of breeds, sheep shearing, cow milking, and sheepdog demonstrations. After that, we went out to lunch with one of Mum's friends. Afterwards, we went to a place called Te Puia where we experienced a traditional Maori welcome ceremony where Dad served as the visiting chief, a Maori concert, and the local geothermal features. Then we went to the grocery where we got dinner and breakfast for tomorrow and then came back here so that I could tell you all that we've done.
Our connection is kind of slow so I am going to try to figure out some way to get pictures here eventually.
I'll do my best to get another post up tomorrow!
Chris

See me? See that cove?
I love it.
"Maori" is fun to say.
Maori, Maori, Maori.
Sounds like you guys are already having a great time. Cathedral Cove looks fairly nifty...
Anyhow, enjoy.
Good luck and good night.
Oh, and just to let you all know what we're doing back over here...
We're celebrating the revolution!
(It's the fourth of July!)
woah, cathedral cove looks awesome! glad you're having fun :)
"Down the British!"
Well said, Anna.
"Down the British!"
Well said, Anna.
Duplicated. That was not supposed to happen.
We are celebrating Independence day as well, except we invited the Medlers over and they call it Rebellion day...
Wow. sounds like you've had a lot of fun... but I'd be so tired if it was me... make sure you sleep!!!
The pictures are really cool... I would love to have been there!
Man, I wish I was with you guys! ;) Cathedral Cove looks SO BEAUTIFUL!!!
I love the pictures!! They are so beautiful. Happy 5th of July!!!!! The fireworks were cancelled yesterday at Deep Creek, so we are going to see them tonight.
Finally Caleb has his own internet!!!
Alex, you're a crackpot. You should see some maori pix, they look really...uhmmm....unique...
Chris, that is an understatement. What's so "unique" about the maori pictures? (Or should I not ask?)
And what is the "Russet Manuka?"
There's no reason to be afraid of the Maori pix. Some the things they do to try to look fearsome look more, dare I say, comical.
And "The Russet Manuka" is my new alias.
Ah, I guessed that. I just wondered what it meant, where was its origin, etc.
That need not be known to you
Very well.
